Publisher's Summary

Prepare to fall head over heels. This is the perfect book for fans of Josie Silver, Richard Curtis and anyone who ever fell in love with the wrong person.

What if you couldn’t get away from the one who got away?

Unlucky in love Jess is following her dream and moving to London. It’s December, and she’s taking a room in a crumbling Notting Hill house‐share with four strangers. On her first night Jess meets Alex, the guy sharing her floor. They don’t kiss under the mistletoe, but as far as Jess is concerned, the connection is instant. She lets herself imagine how their relationship will grow over the following year. 

But when Jess returns from a Christmas holiday, she finds Alex has started dating someone else - beautiful Emma, who lives on the floor above them. Now Jess faces a year of bumping into (hell, sharing a bathroom with) the man of her dreams…and the woman of his. 

Jess is determined to move on and survive the next 12 months…but love has a way of hampering even the best laid plans.... 

Set over the course of one life‐changing year, this is the most uplifting and moving love story of 2019.

A bit boring really

Jess is a bit of a bland character, the romance is predictable and the story is a bit vanilla.
I can't be sure if it was the story that was boring or the narration that made me want to snooze every 5 minutes.
Although she has a nice voice with a warm tone and expression, Jessica Preddy has a slightly stilted, over-enunciated style similar to that of a kindergarten teacher reading a story book to children.... and her Scottish accent is distractingly woeful. The voice she uses for Jess's friend Jen, isn't dissimilar to that of a three-year-old little girl. Very annoying. Pretty sure I'll be avoiding books narrated by her in the future. Finlay Robertson does an okay job with Alex though.
Overall, you can save yourself 9 hours with this summary:
- Jess moves into a Notting Hill share-house
- Jess meets cute housemate
- 12 months later they start dating
Not much more than that happens.
